Two Strikes and a Philosophy

It worked today, stand there for 14 innings and someone got hit for the win.

Most guys who get paid to coach baseball over-complicate the game. Most also spend too much time and effort trying to fix things that aren't really broken.

WRONG - the other team made an error for a win when we demonstrated for 5 innings we could not push the winnning run across. However, the W looks all the same in the record. Thanks Maryland for putting us out of our misery, for a minute at least. Back to the ball park for another.

Trying to justify a pay check

All the money I have paid for coaching, I would have paid a sur charge to pass up the “fixing what was not broken”. This is so damn true.

Why does it feel like the bat on ball broke protocol?

Bunting is definitely not an alternate solution with this group.

All I know is when we had that crooked inning in game 2 against Texas, MAT came here beating his chest about Wells and how right he was about Wells. But since then he’s been real quiet on Wells

Reeeeeaaaal Quiet....

Admittedly, I was pretty happy with Wells at that time too. The jury is still out on him for me but I see concerning things offensively. I think he should be judged over an entire season at the very least, though.

In my mind the philosophy should be to hunt the fastball. A pitch you can handle. I’m not much into zone specific pitches. I would want to attack the fastball. Especially in plus counts 1-0 2-0 2-1 3-0, 3-1 counts. However it seems to me we are looking for more zone specific pitches. I think we need to turn it loose a little and make hard contact in those good counts.

We judge by the minute here

It’s the same stupid base running mistakes, the same weak at bats during clutch situations, and very little progress from promising high school talent that we have been forced to endure the last two seasons!

What more do you need to see? Nothing has changed!
